Rejected petition Change borough council grants to include ALL areas not just main town centres

Currently borough councils mainly only accept shop front grants to town centres and not all of their constituent areas. Rural and semi rural communities need financial/growth help too, especially those on a main road leading to said town centres

More details

Offer and accept shop front grants to smaller businesses within smaller communities, regardless of the areas population count and current amenities.
Damage caused by mindless vandalism is expensive to replace and can have a detrimental impact on businesses and their owners lives. Yet villages within a half mile radius are accepted for these grants purely based on their current amenities.
Main roads leading to towns need to look attractive to passersby and not run down or abandoned
